More about the awards

We are sad that we can't see all of our literature loving friends this
year, but this will still be a great event and the essence of the
Connecticut Book Awards remains the same.

To remind you of what that essence is, the awards recognize the best books
of *2019* *about *Connecticut or by authors and illustrators *from
*Connecticut.
Categories include: Fiction, Nonfiction, Poetry, and Books for Young
Readers. A special category, the Bruce Fraser "Spirit of Connecticut" Award
is dedicated to the memory of longtime Connecticut Humanities director
Bruce Fraser and celebrates Connecticut’s sense of place.

I hope you can join us on October 15th. I look forward to 'seeing' you!

Director, Connecticut Center for the Book
